Episode 64. exchange greetings
As the standoff with the Red Locust on the 67th floor of the tower continued, beings on other floors of the tower began to feel a sense of crisis.
Each class recalled the terrible famine of 100 years ago and began to rush to buy food just in case, which led to a surge in food prices.
As a result, the merchants who came to Granier Village also sold food at a higher price, but Israel, the richest man in Granier Village, who was in the dark about the outside news, thought that the merchants were deceiving him and colluding to raise food prices.
So Israel gave his son 1,000 Top Coins and had him buy food.
“In addition to experiencing the Oren world, become a wandering merchant and buy food yourself.”
“Yes, father.”
Oren, who left Granier Village to see the world, excitedly headed to the store area with his nine subordinates.
However, the world was not a gentle place like the village of Granier, where people walked around with a lot of weight on their shoulders.
After struggling, Oren and his men finally arrived at the merchant area and stopped by the Wandering Merchant Association to purchase a traveling merchant license and equipment. Oren wanted to show his subordinates a good image, so he provided money to each of the 5 top coins.
They became wandering merchants, and while they were gathering information on food prices and drinking at a bar, a wandering goblin merchant spoke to them.
“Hello. My name is Scaram, a wandering merchant. Are you looking for food?”
“yes.”
“I have some good stuff. Why don’t you use it to save money before buying food?”
“Good stuff?”
“Yes. This is something outside the tower.”
“Something outside the tower?”
As Scaram spoke, he showed the cats objects on Earth.
“Oh! What is this?”
“That’s…”
The cats, except Oren, looked at the unfamiliar-shaped object with curiosity. However, Oren seemed indifferent as if he was not very interested.
“If you take this upstairs, you can sell it for a very high price. The beings who live upstairs collect these items as a hobby.”
“Is that true?!”
“Yes. You’re from Granier Village, right? In the past, a wandering merchant named Theo made a lot of money by doing business with me.”
“Theo?!”
Oren’s ears perked up when he heard that Theo had made a lot of money.
‘If that stupid guy made a lot of money, I can make several times that much.’
Oren, full of confidence, began trading with Scaram.
“How much stuff do you have?”
“Because this is a rare item, there aren’t many of it.”
“Please give me everything.”
“It’s 5 top coins each.”
“That’s too expensive.”
Oren bargained with a wandering goblin merchant and reduced the price to buy items for his men and Scaram. Scaram said he didn’t have a lot of stuff, but he had just enough stuff that they could afford.
“Then make a lot of money.”
In this way, Oren and his men were defrauded of almost all of their assets by Scaram.
“Just drink this and let’s leave right away.”
“Yes! Master Oren!”
Not realizing that they had been scammed, Oren and his men drank the remaining drinks and came out in good spirits.
And then he found Theo running to the blacksmith shop.
***
“It’s been a while.”
‘This guy!”
Oren’s face hardened when Theo, who had always been unable to even look at his own face, confidently looked at his face and smiled.
‘joy! Are you saying you made some money?!” He
changed his mind about just saying hello. Otherwise, he didn’t even have money to buy food because he spent all his money on things for Scaram, so Oren thought it was a good idea.
“Theo, we got a boat . “I’m hungry, so lend me some money.”
Oren said as he put his arm around Theo’s shoulder like a delinquent.
“So…you don’t even have money to buy food?”
Theo looked at Oren as if he felt pity.
“Profit! In just a little bit, you can make a lot of money!”
Oren got angry at Theo’s disregard and shouted.
“That’s right! We bought things outside the tower!”
“You made money like that, so you understand, right?”
The other cats agreed with Oren’s words.
“…You mean things outside the tower?! Are you sure you bought something from Scaram?”
“Heh. okay. I know very well.”
Oren said with an arrogant look on Theo’s stern expression. He thought Theo was jealous of them.
“Then you’re going to the 99th floor of the tower?”
“Yes. We will go to the 99th floor of the Tower and make a deal with the Demon King.”
Scaram knew that he was being tracked these days and tried to kill Oren and his gang to eliminate traces in order to clean up the mess.
“For the brothers to go to the 99th floor of the Tower , I’m a little hungry. So lend me some money. I’ll pay you back later.”
Oren said in a low voice, giving strength to the paw around Theo’s neck.
“I don’t want to! I won’t let you drink it! You haven’t even repaid the 21.34 Top Coins you borrowed from me! Pay me back that money!”
shouted Theo, who had remembered exactly how much money Oren and his subordinates had borrowed little by little.
“This!”
Oren, who was angry at Theo’s defiance, was about to hit Theo with his blunt paw when he
roared. .
Three silver wolves approached.
“Ah…don’t misunderstand, wolves. This is our friend. It’s been a while since I last met, and I was giving a warm welcome. yes? “Theo.”
Oren urgently forced Theo to answer.
But
“Representative Te, is that cat really your friend?”
Elka ignored Oren’s words and asked Theo.
“Representative Te?”
The cats responded to Elka’s words. I started to get upset. The only cat here with a name that could be called representative of Te was Theo.
“I’m not your friend. I don’t have a friend like that. Deal with it.”
Theo released Oren’s shoulder strap and moved to the blacksmith shop, pretending to hit Oren’s neck with his front paw. With that, their disposition was decided.
Cry.
“Save me… please help me!”
Elka and the Wolf. They surrounded Oren and his gang, and soon they began to hear screams.
“Mean meow meow.”
Theo hummed while listening to the screams of Oren and his gang. Even when he saw Oren, who had bullied him in Granier Village, he was no longer scared at all.
‘Puhuhuhu. As expected, I’m invincible with Park Se-jun!”
The closer I got to Sejun, the stronger I became, to the point where I was afraid of myself.
“Fuhuhu. I shouldn’t become too strong, right?”
With such a useless delusion, Theo entered the blacksmith shop.
“I want you to cut it!”
Theo, who did not forget Sejun’s teachings and faithfully reduced the equipment draw cost by cutting 3 times, paid 12 top coins, and moved to the draw corner.
And
“Nyan?! This is it!”
As soon as I got to the drawing corner, I picked an item that strongly pulled my front foot and left the blacksmith shop.
“Representative Te has handled it.”
Elka, who was waiting outside the blacksmith shop, spoke to Teo.
“Good job! Let’s go up quickly!”
Theo smiled evilly and hurried up to the 99th floor of the tower. I was busy rushing over to check if there was anything wrong with Sejun’s knee and greeting the friends.
A few hours after Theo left.
“Uhm…”
“Ugh…”
Oren and the other cats, who had fainted after being hit by the wolves, woke up.
“Theo, you bastard! Just make money! I’ll hire strong free mercenaries and beat them up!”
“that’s right!”
“Don’t leave me alone!”
“Let’s quickly sell these items and make money!”
Oren and his subordinate cats set out for the 99th floor of the tower, vowing revenge on Theo. Not knowing that there was a being there that was several times more evil than Theo.
***
“Let’s be competent in one and human in two.”
“one.”
“capable!”
“two.”
“Let’s be human!”
Heukrangdan, who fainted after being hit by Han Tae-jun’s magic missile every time they resisted, was running at full speed following Cha Si-hyuk’s orders without making a sound.
‘How long do I have to run this?!’
Neither Han Tae-jun nor Cha Si-hyuk said how long they would run. However, I couldn’t run slowly.
Kieee!!
Hearing their voices, dozens of spider monsters were following them. As they continued to run and 100 spider monsters chased after them, Taejun Han finally opened his mouth.
“Now we hunt monsters.”
“yes?!”
“Fight quickly.”
Taejun Han said as he placed 200 magic missiles around him. It was a threat that if I didn’t do as I was told, I would die.
“Ahh!”
“damn!”
Heilangdan closed his eyes tightly and ran towards the spider monsters. Still, there was at least a chance that this side would survive.
***
Dawn of the 238th day of the disaster.
Blow. Blow. Blow.
“As expected, you came today too.”
Sejun spoke in a tired voice as he watched the approaching branch scouts. For the fourth day in a row, Sejun was fighting the branch scouts every morning.
“Go! Black Rabbit! Kuengi!”
Bye!
Kueng!
Following Sejun’s instructions, the black rabbit and Kuengi rushed forward.
And
wow!
The mother Crimson Giant Bear roars in front of him.
After a long period of persuasion, Sejun was able to move his mother Crimson Giant Bear’s nest closer to Sejun’s house in exchange for Chef’s satisfying soup.
It wasn’t a difficult task as the wolves were boiling the soup 24 hours a day in 20 large pots that they had brought with them while receiving Chef’s soup orders from the Lizardmen.
Additionally, the firepower problem was easily solved as the branch scouts provided firewood.
In this way, Sejun, who stationed the Crimson Giant Bear Hat near his house, was able to keep the farm safe.
“I should go too.”
Sejun followed Kuengi and killed the well-manicured branch scouts. Perhaps because the mother Crimson Giant Bear had left too early, the branch scouts retreated early and were few in number.
After defeating the remaining enemies, Sejun returned home and slept poorly.
And when I opened my eyes,
[Peanut Sowing Lv. Cherry tomato seeds were planted using 4.]
[The landowner receives 1% compensation.]
[The landowner’s job experience increases slightly.]
[The landowner’s sowing Lv. The skill level of 4 increases slightly.]
[100 pyeong of cherry tomato fields have been created.]
[200 experience points have been acquired.]
…
..
.
The white rabbits who woke up first were planting cherry tomatoes in the field. It seems that Sejun didn’t wake him up because he knew he would get up early in the morning to guard the farm.
“Tsk!”
Sejun got out of bed and went outside. Then he went down to the cave, added a stroke to the wall, and washed his face in the pond.
And I looked around.
“Where on earth is the tree?”
Sejun was frustrated and searched the cave several times, but he could not find the tree. Just in case, I sent the black rabbit outside the pond to take a closer look, but there were no trees there either.
When Sejun was about to go up with things to eat for breakfast,
“Huh?”
I saw that the fire that had been lit in the cave had gone out. Since they eat on land these days, the rabbits seem to have neglected fire management.
“But I still have a wife, a rabbit, and babies.”
The wife, Rabbit, who was taking care of the baby rabbits, could have used the fire in a hurry.
When Sejun removed the ashes from the fire, a small green sprout appeared.
“Huh? Why is there a sprout here?”
Sejun carefully touched the bud.
At that time
[Master! Hello!]
Sprout greeted Sejun in a cheerful voice.
“Huh?! Did you just say that?!”
Sejun asked, confused by the sound coming from the bud.
[Yes! Master!]
The apple tree, which had been growing only underground due to the fire, finally said hello to Sejun.
